Chapter 119 – Chapter 29. Raising a Hero.
Jihyeok, who woke up before the sun rose, slowly stood up holding the holy sword on the edge of the bed. The cool morning air lingered in the still dark hallway.
One step, one step. With each step he took, he sank deeper and deeper into his thoughts.
– What is martial arts?
After following the various questions, that was the final destination. It ended as soon as it began. What is it-.
Jihyeok was still lost in that question. Of course, there were answers that vaguely came to my mind, but they were not clear answers that brightened my mind. … He thought, maybe he won’t be able to solve this question until he dies.
How come he became a philosophical person as he deepened his realm. … Musty human. Is it really right to swing your arms around to catch something that can’t be caught? If you think about an answer that won’t come out, will it come out?
The question of what is is, in the end, not very different from the question of why do humans exist? Human beings, who were born spontaneously from the meeting of sperm and egg, could never answer that question on their own.
While contemplating, Ji-hyeok arrived at the backyard before he knew it. Ma Hushu sat in the middle of the training ground, lost in meditation, then opened his eyes. Her warrior slowly approached her.
… That’s right, let’s get rid of useless thoughts and swing the sword one more time. If 10 million is not enough, let’s fill it with 100 million. Even if you crawl like an ant, if you keep going, you will arrive someday.
Mafushu picked up her dagger, which had been placed beside her, and stood up slowly. Acting like an innocent tomboy, she has now transformed into a female warrior.
No words were exchanged between the two. Just the eyes were enough to make me think.
Jihyeok drew the holy sword and casually threw the scabbard away in the far corner. At the same time, Mafu Shu also clutched her spear with both of her hands and lowered her stance. Just by looking at her unwavering gaze and her momentum, I could feel that she had grown a lot.
He stood tall, her sword hanging down, staring at her fiercely. A gloomy aura slowly spread.
Aww. Mafushu gritted his teeth at the frightening living thing that tingled her skin. A tension incomparable to that of dealing with her powerful monsters dug into her flesh. Her saliva went down on its own.
… Really very strong
Mafushu seemed to have a vague idea of how far away Jihyeok’s level was. As the saying goes, she sees as much as she knows, and she has grown tired of his overwhelming inaction.
… I was scared to be honest. It was scary. Even just standing there defenseless, she was frightened and difficult to approach. It was a visceral warning shouted by the blood of a beastman.
“Aren’t you going to attack?”
Jihyeok, who couldn’t wait, said that. Ma Hushu drew her foot forward. Ignoring the warnings of her screaming body, she mustered up her courage.
As her hind feet hit her floor and at the same time her feet lifted off the ground, she shot forward like her lightning bolt. The spear accurately aimed at Ji-hyeok’s heart and moved in a straight line.
It was a great blow. Compared to before, the basics are very strong. It was the result of a combination of bloody hard work and amazing talent.
However, that splendid blow only pierced empty space. Of course, she knew all too well that this attack would not work. She immediately landed her follow-up.
This time, Jihyeok deflected the snake-like spear with his sword, then kicked her in the chest with his foot.
Oops.
Mafushu flew up and rolled on the floor once, then got up quickly and attacked again.
Hiss, the sound of the wind cutting was fast and sharp, but her attack did not touch Jihyeok’s hair.
It was hopeless. But she didn’t give up. Gritting my teeth, I really struggled to make even one successful attack.
“Calm down. Don’t get excited Even if your opponent is stronger than you, eventually there will be gaps. If it’s a fight you can’t escape from, somehow find the gap and attack. Even if you give me the flesh, you can take the bones.”
However, the soon-to-be-excited prisoner’s blood did not easily subside. That was Mafushu’s weakness. The more excited she became, the simpler her attacks became. Of course, it’s fast and powerful, but it’s easier to deal with if you’re strong enough to avoid it.
Jihyeok hit Ma Hushu’s stomach with her fist. Billion Choking her breath, she hesitated behind her, unable to attack.
“Won’t you come to your senses? … What is your reason for meditating? Isn’t it to calmly contemplate the surroundings without getting excited under any circumstances? Did I teach you to fight like this?!”
Jihyeok raised his voice. Her breath came back and she gripped her spear again, panting wildly. Her reddened, excited eyes seemed to calm down again.
Mafush attacked again. She is definitely better than before. If I polished it a little more like this, it seemed like I wouldn’t be pushed back by Gunda anymore.
The half-blood Suin did not back down even after being hit by Ji-hyeok again and again. Then she finally gave up on her legs and fell to the floor.
Mandible mandible.
Mahu Shu somehow tried to get back up, but her already exhausted body was out of her control.
“Done. There is.”
When Jihyeok said that, Mafu Shu also broke her will to fight. He went to her side She lowered her head as if to apologize.
“Sorry.”
“No. Nice It’s gotten a lot better. Can you see the effort?”
Jihyeok went from being a strict teacher to a benevolent captain again. He had her helpless lean on her own shoulder.
Even though Mafushu was mortally defeated, she strangely felt better when she leaned on him. I guess this is what Ludwigne said, the feeling of the jizzi standing fast.
“Captain, I think that fat man is going to stand up quickly… Do you have chilli tremors too, Captain?”
Jihyeok smiled. The innocent Mahu Shu stared at his side face, her eyes twinkling.
“I’m not saying that to anyone.”
“Sure?”
“Only do it to someone you really love.”
“… Love? What is love?”
He mumbled and pondered for a moment.
“Every time I have time, I think of it. I feel good when I see you, I want to be by your side. Maybe that’s what love is.”
Ah.
Mafushu heard that and smiled.
“Then I think I love you. Whenever I have time, I think of you, I feel good when I see you, and I want to be by your side. … Every time I see it, Chichi stands up fast.”
Jihyeok looked at her. Mafush smiled beautifully. Its fangs, which looked a little sharper than those of normal people, sparkled beautifully.
“Even the captain… , Do you love me?”
Instead of answering, Jihyeok lightly kissed her.
Mahoushu’s eyes slowly closed, then slowly opened again.
It dawned slowly.
… And even in her heart, a bright sunlight spread.

After Ji-hyeok’s sparring with Ma Hu-shu, he immediately started training with the telekinetic magician Sally. She trained so hard that her mouth tasted like blood. Still, she had quite a bit of tenacity, so she didn’t say a word that it was difficult and did as Jihyeok told her to do.
In particular, her skill at exercising her telekinesis has increased dramatically. Jihyeok taught her how to fight, based on her previous experience of fighting her telekinesis.
“I think you have two huge, invisible hands. Then it will be much easier to fight.”
If the advice worked, Celie’s telekinesis was much more advanced. However, due to the nature of her telekinetic powers, she did not use them for very long. First of all, she had to continue to develop in such a way as to increase her mana amount and at the same time waste as little mana as possible.
As severe training was conducted every day, Sally’s stamina and skills improved rapidly.
… Ten days passed by in the blink of an eye.
There was still no news from the witch Jeanne. The amount of work was quite considerable. Well, it’s not awkward to make, it’s a legendary elixir called an elixir, but it’s only natural that it takes a long time.
To be honest, I didn’t have the thought of, but I didn’t want to interrupt her in the middle just to check it out and cause a big setback to her work. … If you believe in me, you must believe in me until the end. If she was severely stabbed in the back, it was his fault for not recognizing the person.
Anyway.
On this day too, Jihyeok was spending a very ordinary day, training and working at the same time. He hadn’t even imagined what was going to happen until he was sitting at his desk in the office after his morning training and rummaging through papers.
I was looking at the work for a long time, but suddenly the manager urgently found the hero. It was the first time I had seen the janitor’s urgent appearance, so Ji-hyeok was also quite curious about what was going on.
“What is it?”
“I think you should come down and see it right now.”
Jihyeok moved right away without asking further. As the saying goes, seeing is worth seeing, it is better to see with your eyes than to hear with words.
However, from the stairs to the second floor, I felt something unusual. … It was such a powerful energy that it made my skin tingle. Jihyeok stopped walking for a moment without realizing it.
… Look at this bastard
It was obvious rudeness to enter someone else’s mansion and pour out energy like this. … At least it was certain that the opponent was a young boy with no buds.
Jihyeok’s face hardened like dry ground in a drought. He went straight to the living room and opened the door.
There was a muscular man sitting there. He wasn’t very tall, but he had a tremendously muscular body reminiscent of a tanker. … She was, however, a woman.
Ah.
As soon as Jihyeok saw his opponent’s face, he wanted to take a break.
Sitting with her legs apart like her man, she smiled at him as he entered the parlor. However, that laugh was somehow eerie.
“Hey, nice to meet you, friend.”
Funny enough, despite her size, her voice was pretty. That was a very unbalanced feeling.
“Hey, you look tall and handsome. … Are you Jihyuk Kang?”
“… However?”
Jihyeok also responded with half words. The other person’s smile grew thicker.
“Because rumors about you are so loud. I came because I wanted to take a look at how great he is, just like the rumors say.”
He just stared at her, holding her hands behind her back and holding her mouth shut. She said, “Ah, woman,” And waved her hand.
“Oh, I didn’t introduce myself.”
She jumped up Then she strode towards him, tilting her head slightly and bringing her face closer. So much that she could barely breathe. The laughter had disappeared in an instant.
“It is Ganesha. … I came because I wanted to see your skills.”
“Suddenly without a word?”
“I am a bit of a spontaneous person. … No? Were you scared?”
Her hair was shaved short, and the corners of Ganesha’s mouth hung down.
“Why are you like this, like a rookie. … Let’s stick together, bitch.”
Jihyeok let out a long snort.
“Do it somewhere other than here. I don’t want my house to be destroyed.”
“Oh sure. Do that let’s hurry.”
“Can I take some of my men? Learn a little while watching.”
Ganesha giggled bitterly.
“Do as you please. Hehe.”
Jihyeok called Mafushu and Sally. The girls who were suddenly called out from the backyard didn’t know what was going on.
“Follow me at once.”
He told the janitor that he would go somewhere for a while. Durka bowed respectfully.
The chariot carrying Ganesha moved. The carriage carrying Jihyeok and his party followed closely behind them.
“What happen?”
“Because I have a fight.”
“Yes?!”
“The reason I’m taking you guys is to remember this fight for the rest of your life and chew the cud.”
Ah.
“It will be on a different level from the fights I have seen so far. Never look away and stay focused. Okay?”
“All right.”
Jihyeok let out a long sigh and leaned against his backrest.
… I’m going to fight this year again like this.
Brawler Ganesha. A loser who lost his ranking and fame to Geralt, the genius of the century.
S-rank 3rd, the hero—-.
… Jihyeok was determined to put all his energy into it.
